Google Business Profile optimisation that turns searches into calls

What is Google Business Profile optimisation?

Google Business Profile optimisation is the work of completing, correcting and actively managing your business listing on Google so that it appears for relevant local searches and persuades searchers to call, visit or book. Starboost manages listings for businesses that serve a local area and tracks the calls and direction requests they generate.

What we optimise

  • Categories: the most precise primary category and the right secondary categories, which are among the strongest relevance signals.
  • Services and products: each described with the words customers use.
  • Description and attributes: accurate, helpful and free from keyword stuffing.
  • Opening hours, including special hours for bank holidays.
  • Photos and video: real images of the premises, team and work, refreshed regularly.
  • Posts: offers, news and services, published on a schedule.
  • Questions and answers: the questions customers ask, answered before they are asked.
  • Booking and website links, with tracking so you can see what each button produces.

Reviews and replies

Reviews affect both ranking and conversion. We set up a simple, compliant way to ask happy customers for a review and reply to every review, positive or negative, in your voice. We never buy or fabricate reviews, which breaks Google’s rules and risks suspension. More in reputation management.

Consistency and risk

A listing is only as strong as the information around it. We align your name, address and phone number across directories (see NAP and citations), resolve duplicates and avoid the actions that lead to suspension, such as keyword-stuffed names or virtual addresses.

What you see each month

A clear report of listing views, calls, direction requests, website clicks and bookings, compared with your starting point. Tracking is installed in the first month. To see what extra enquiries could mean for your revenue, use the ROI simulator.

Where this fits

Listing optimisation is the foundation of our local SEO service and appears in the local pack. In every package from Presence upwards, your listing is managed for you.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a Google Business Profile be updated?
Review and photo activity should be continuous, with posts weekly or fortnightly and a check of hours, services and attributes at least monthly.
Can Google suspend my listing?
Yes, if it breaks the guidelines: for example, keywords in the name, ineligible addresses or fake reviews. We work within the rules and fix the issues that cause suspensions.
Do I need a website for a Business Profile?
Not strictly, but a website that matches the listing, with a page for each service and area, strengthens both.

Want to see where you stand?

We review your listing against competitors in your area and give you a prioritised list of fixes.
